Would you?

And you aren't sure it's pain ie teething etc. Would you still give calpol even if you weren't 100% sure?

I just can't figure out why my little one if crying. One cry she did was very new and I didn't like it one bit so I thought maybe pain. She's chewing her hand a lot and dripping so much but I hear that can just be normal for babies her age (11 weeks old).

I reluctantly gave calpol anyway coz the thought of my baby in pain and me not doing anything about it broke mu heart.

(don't think it's colic either coz she can be consoled albeit for short periods)

Well Im not one for just dishing out calpol or other over the counter medicines but I don’t believe one dose would do lo any harm and I guess if it doesn’t work you can rule out pain but if it works you’ve sorted the problem. But sucking fists and drooling are signs of teething too my lo has started to do this too and has had a few un settled days. Hope calpol helps.

I know I'm feeling under the weather ATM with a sore throat, achey etc so if my LG started whining and I'd checked off all those things on your list I would then give her calpol. If she has a headache she can't tell you and there's not going to be any symptoms. And if there's tears when she's crying something has to be bothering her. I do always check her temperature before giving it because I wouldn't want to do it after but the calpol disguise the fever xx

There were proper tears streaming down her face calpol seemed to have settled her. And she slept nearly 8 hrs without waking 😱
